SAN FRANCISCO: Robert Bosch GmbH has won orders from Apple Inc to supply the next iPhone with some of its motion sensors, according to a person familiar with the deal, a potential blow to InvenSense Inc, currently the main supplier of those smartphone components.
The change – hinted at by InvenSense’s finance chief in August – comes as the San Jose, California-based maker of motion-sensing chips seeks to complete its US$1.3bil sale to TDK Corp, a deal partly aimed at boosting the Japanese company’s business with Apple. InvenSense shares declined more than 5% in extended trading on Thursday.
